Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Before you bring a woman into your life, pull up that interview

https://www.kqed.org/forum/201011011000/the-business-of-power And play the words between 14:10-14:40 to her. Then ask her: "What are your thoughts on what Professor Pfeffer says there? Not your FEELINGS, but your thoughts?" If she replies "I couldn't agree more", "It's true", or any variation thereof, she's a keeper

If she bristles and scoffs at what Pfeffer says, proceede no further with her. It's that simple
Ok, I am italian and I understood a little of that conversation.
What basically is the principle you're "testing" on a woman?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Testing? No. Vetting the woman, before you bring her into your life? Absolutely!!! If she's one of those folks who denies the reality that each of us is a product and a brand, and that we all need a value proposition* if we're to prosper... Well, she's not an investment who's likely to yield a strong ROI


*https://www.techtarget.com/searchci...osition is a,target market or target audience.
Hmm, why should a women allow this reality?
Because she will act like she knows about the game and she's searching for a man with value?

Any woman who fails to recognize that each of us(herself included)is a brand and product has a weak internal locus of control. This isn't someone it's wise to keep company with
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

This is very common to hear in casual conversation in Italy, but it's a bit different.
Anyway, we are saying that we must recognize if a women knows "about the game" and if she knows "about her value in the game".

Is there any other way to ask this, indirectly, without asking?
For example, with a methaphor.. What comes to your mind?

Precisely. Same way one avoids going into a business partnership with those who aren't interested in upholding their end of the bargain
